No.1 Hasan Ali reveals his next goal

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali has set his next big goal after reaching at the top of International Cricket Council (ICC) bowlers rankings.

Talking to French news agency, the 23-year-old said, "I have been blessed with success and the Champions Trophy victory was the best thing. The next big goal is to win the 2019 World Cup in England."

The paceman reached top of the ICC bowlers’ rankings following a sublime spell against Sri Lanka at Abu Dhabi where he took 5-34 in the 3^rd ODI.

He also became the joint third fastest bowler to claim 50 one-day wickets with the mark achieved in 23 matches, the same number as Australian icon Dennis Lillee and four games fewer than Waqar.

Since making his debut in August in 2016, he is the leading wicket taker with 54 victims. Hasan is also the best this year with 43 wickets in 17 matches.
